Morning ☀️

Wait wait wait so. Grover was 28 in TLT. So he was 23 when he was the protector of Annabeth Thalia and Luke. So what you're telling me is that they sent the equivalent of an 11 year old on his FIRST QUEST to take care of three 14, 12 and 7 year old demigods? One of whom was a child of the literal king of the sky? And when she died HE was the one blamed? Props to grover but if I'd gone through that I would've gone and signed up for Luke's rebellion in microseconds

Oh my Gods. OH MY EVERHATING GODS. IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN THEN I WILL BREAK. THIS IS LIKE, I DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED IT UNTIL I KNEW IT

Okay, you have been warned - MAJOR PJO BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOH HAVEN’T READ THROUGH THE END OF THE LAST OLYMPIAN.

Okay, here goes. You know how Annabeth is the one who gets through to Luke in the end? And I legit love that scene, it makes me cry every time and I both want and don’t want to see it play out on screen.

But hear me out. Grover is playing his reeds, right? What if… what if he plays the Consensus Song. He doesn't mean to, he's just freaking out because by the gods that's one of his old friends standing there about to end everything. That's one of his old friends trying to kill his two best friends. And the song just… happens.

And THAT is what breaks Kronos's hold enough for Annabeth to reason with Luke. Hearing that old melody, something he probably hasn't heard since he was on the run with baby Annabeth and Thalia, is what reminds him of his promise. Family.

the way when jude confronts locke in TWK and locke easily confuses her with taryn, but when jude pretends to be taryn in QoN, Cardan IMMEDIATELY recognises her

its pretty clear which one of them loves his wife more

I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT. LIKE, THEY WERE SO ICONIC FOR DOING THAT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SQUEALED LIKE THE TEENAGER I BARELY AM I MEAN IT

THE START WITH LUKE DOING A SIMILAR MONOLOGUE TO PERCY THEIR PARRALLELS AND THE REVEQL SCENE WAS SO DRAMATIC WITH ANNABETHS CAP AN THE MOODY LIGHTIBG IM GONNA GO FERAL IM GONNA SCREAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! JDBDJSBSHDUUDUHDDHDUIEHEHD

Grover being all sweet innocent cinnamon roll reasurring Percy and Annabeth that he'll be okay staying behind with Ares like he isn't planning 5D chess psychological warfare on the god of war be like

The best part of the percy jackson books is that from percy's perspective hes just an easygoing funny cool guy who seems pretty harmless but the moment you see him from someone elses pov hes terrifying. Just a crazy good fighter, a force of nature killing machine, literally gets mistaken for a god in disguise. But he doesnt see that side of himself at all because hes too busy arguing with authority figures and respecting women. I love him

Imagine people assume they're making up this whole thing and they actually get on board because, come on, it's interesting. So people just assume that MC is just has a hell of an imagination

I want you guys to imagine this with me. Mc has a prepaid phone. Right before getting sent to the Devildom they paid a years worth of their phone bill. Mc live blogs their entire stay in the Devildom on Twitter or Tumblr god forbid maybe TikTok. Nobody in the human world believes them and assumes it's a troll account.

Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.

Guys. I'm in Botany class and am having unholy thoughts about my sir. Help.
